How to do Close-Grip Incline Bench Press:

Step 1: Lie down on an incline bench. Grab the bar from the rack and position your hands about shoulder-width apart. Start by lifting the bar and holding it directly above you.

Step 2: Brace your core and use your legs to form a solid foundation for the lift. Lower the bar down towards your upper chest, inhaling as you do so.

Step 3: Once you reach the bottom of your range of motion, pause and then push the barbell back to the starting position.

Step 4: Exhale as you push the bar back up, and squeeze your chest at the top.

Step 5: Repeat the previous steps as needed for your workout, and re-rack the bar once you've completed your set.
